I love my podcasts. And surprisingly I listen to some non bitcoin ones even! Been looking for Catholic ones that are trying to grapple with the psy ops and confusion of the last 3 years. When nobody even mentions the craziness of the last few years I start to question their intelligence and authenticity to be honest. Also to be effective out faith has to be applied in the real world, and current events. Don’t get me wrong - the theology and liturgy ones are great and essential. But looking for new ones too. I stumbled upon Avoiding Babylon. Highly recommended! Looks like they were jarred awake from the psy ops going on and aren’t afraid to discuss, from a Catholic take. Excellent. I’m also checking out A Catholic Take, Crisis Point, John Henry Westen show along with the ones I check into regularly: Rules for Retrogrades, Taylor Marshall, Thank God for Bitcoin. Any recommendations?

I really like Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World. The aid Subjects are often on topics not related or distantly related to the Faith, and he always has a good take with the two lenses of faith and reason. Some of my favorite have been the paranormal ones like ghost stories, which are a good mixture of real ones considered with a balance of skepticism and open mindedness, and hoaxes uncovered. (border patrol ghost is a favorite among those.) He also covers Marian apparitions, which are also usually pretty good.

Have you heard of the New Polity podcast? They deal with real issues.

I follow the New Polity guys. They have a lot of good things to say, but I feel they're just a little too idealistic and translating the goal into "what do I do tomorrow" could be helped. I also don't think they understand Bitcoin (they think it's just another crypto). I actually chatted with Jacob Imam a couple times, and I can say he's a pretty cool dude.

We do need to have a vision of the ideal, though, so we can work towards a goal. I haven't listened to New Polity much, but what they do is great for setting a bar, so to speak

Yes. We need both a lofty goal and a way to take steps toward it. I have few disagreements with their content, so I think we can start toward it.

The Catholic Current is one I recently discovered. It's from a radio show done by Fr. Robert McTeigue SJ. He's one of those rare orthodox Jesuits. He's very smart and insightful, and he doesn't mince words when it comes to problems in the culture or the Church, not matter how high it goes.

Thank you! This is one I listened to just last night, a quick 10 minute one, and wow it was awesome. Prayerful, earnest, focused, truthful. I look forward to more. This is just the type of content I was talking about.
